What labels need to be affixed to a new car?
2 Answers
There are two labels that need to be affixed to the front windshield of a new car: the motor vehicle inspection compliance label and the compulsory insurance label. Both labels must be placed in the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield. If the driver has held a driver's license for less than one year, a probationary driver sign must also be affixed to the rear of the vehicle. Below is relevant information about vehicle labels: 1. Legal requirements: Article 11 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that when driving a motor vehicle on the road, the vehicle must display license plates, display the inspection compliance label and insurance label, and carry the vehicle registration certificate. 2. New 2019 label regulations: Previously, three labels - the motor vehicle inspection compliance label, compulsory insurance label, and environmental inspection compliance label - were all mandatory and had to be displayed on the front windshield. However, under the new regulations, the environmental inspection compliance label has been abolished, and only the motor vehicle inspection compliance label and compulsory insurance label are now required.
The first thing after getting a new car is dealing with those labels. Actually, it's much simpler now. A few years ago, you had to display the annual inspection label and compulsory traffic insurance label, but now they're all digitized. The key thing to display is the temporary license plate, which must be affixed to both the front and rear windshields, positioned in the lower left or right corner, making sure not to obstruct the view. When I bought my car, the 4S shop helped with the temporary plates, and the two paper slips they provided needed to be carefully affixed. Remember, temporary plates are valid for 15 to 30 days, during which you should hurry to get the official plates. Once the metal plates are installed, the temporary ones become invalid. I've also seen people pile too many decorations on their windshields, covering the temporary plates and getting fined, so this is something to be particularly careful about. Additionally, new energy vehicles don’t need to display any special labels; just getting the green license plates is enough. Now, basically, only the temporary plates must be displayed, making things much easier.
